Dar es Salaam, Tanzania's largest city, former capital and major economic center, is located on the Indian Ocean coast and is a major port city in East Africa. This multicultural city of Arab, Indian and African cultures, with Kiswahili as its official language and the busy port of Dar es Salaam, is the central gateway for Tanzania's foreign trade. The city combines modern urbanity with unspoiled natural charm, and its proximity to the famous Serengeti National Park and Zanzibar Island makes it an ideal starting point for exploring East Africa's wildlife and beaches. As the financial, commercial and educational center of Tanzania, Dar es Salaam's diverse and vibrant community, known as the "Port of Peace", attracts tourists and investors from around the world.
São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
